ver adjust the steering wheel while the
vehicle is in motion. If you need to adjust
the steering wheel while the vehicle is in
motion, stop safely and make the proper

tection in the event of an accident.

such cases, if the driver's airbag deploys,
you may sustain injuries to your arms,
hands and head.
